Hmm...too bad those "rednecks" are actually where the whole NASCAR thing got it's start. Kinda hard to hijack what was pretty much yours the whole time.
My wife and I have been to a couple of races together, and she grew up in southern Virgina (20 minutes from VIR) going to ARCA and Busch series races. It's just like going to a football game, but with 43 teams instead of two. And I'm sure that the NASCAR crowd definitely contributes economically as much if not more to the areas surrounding the tracks than the rest of the fan bases. Try getting into a restaurant within 80 miles of the track after a race...good luck!
